Cerebellum

Question 1

What makes up the spinocerebellum?

Answer 1

Vermis and intermediate zone

Question 2

What makes up the vestibulocerebellum?

Answer 2

Flocculus and Nodulus

Question 3

What makes up the cerebrocerebellum?

Answer 3

hemispheres

Question 4

Which nucleus contains output from the vermis?

Answer 4

Fastigial

Question 5

Which nucleus contains output from the intermediate zone?

Answer 5

Interposed (globose and emboliform)

Question 6

Which nucleus contains output from the cerebrocerebellum?

Answer 6

Dentate

Question 7

Which outputs bypass the deep cerebellar nuclei

Answer 7

outputs to the vestibular nuclei from the vestibulocerebellum and parts of the vermis

Question 8

Superior Cerebellar Peduncle

Answer 8

major output to thalamus and red nucleus

Question 9

Middle Cerebellar Peduncle

Answer 9

major input from cortex via pontine nuclei

Question 10

Inferior Cerebellar Peduncle

Answer 10

inputs from spine, medulla and vestibular system, outputs to some brainstem nuclei

Question 11

Differentiate climbing fibers and mossy fibers

Answer 11

climbing fibers are inputs from the inferior olivary nucleus and all other inputs are mossy fibers

Question 12

What inputs go to vestibulocerebellum?

Answer 12

VIII and vestibular nuclei

Question 13

What inputs go to spinocerebellum?

Answer 13

vestibular nuclei and spine (proprioceptive pathways)

Question 14

What inputs go to cerebrocerebellum?

Answer 14

from cortex

Question 15

What functions are controlled by vestibulocerebellum?

Answer 15

balance, posture, head position, reflexive eye movement

Question 16

What functions are controlled by spinocerebellum?

Answer 16

balance, posture, movements and muscle tone of extremities

Question 17

What functions are controlled by cerebrocerebellum?

Answer 17

regulates precise movements, cognition and higher cortical processing
